Viasit

What Viasit does

Viasit Workspace Designers GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of ergonomic office furniture, headquartered and exclusively produced in Neunkirchen/Saar on a single 8,700 m² site. The company sells four core product lines — task chairs and armchairs (including the award-winning Toleo and F1 families), tables for workplaces and conference rooms, soft seating for informal and lounge areas, and the modular System4 furniture system — through a hybrid direct field-sales force, a 14-showroom European network, authorized dealers, and international distributors covering North America, South America, and the Middle East and North Africa.

The portfolio is anchored by proprietary ergonomic technologies: the Ultra Spring seat cushion with 56 embedded pocket springs transferred from box-spring mattress design; 3D and 4D torsion backrest movement mechanisms; auto-synchronous seat/back kinematics; flex-hinge under-seat 360° movement; and NPR-standard extended adjustment ranges. Products carry a stacked set of third-party validated certifications (EMAS, BIFMA Level 3, Blue Angel, GS-TÜV Rheinland, IGR ergonomics, Quality Office) and have received German Design Award Gold 2022, Mixology21 finalist, FX International shortlist, and Good Design Award recognition. Sustainability credentials include 0.054 tonnes CO2 per Toleo chair, 59.40% recycled content, and 99.87% recyclability.

Viasit generates revenue through B2B one-time sales of manufactured furniture, priced via dealer and quote-based channels with over 200 fabric/material configuration options. Approximately 150 employees from 13 nations serve enterprise customers (Siemens, Infineon, Aldi Nord), government (German Federal Ministry of Health, Saarland state parliament), financial institutions (Schaffhauser Kantonalbank, Tanmeyah), media (SWR), and education. In December 2025, the company joined Workspace Factories, a collective of five European office furniture manufacturers, and in April 2026 rebranded from Viasit Bürositzmöbel GmbH to Viasit Workspace Designers GmbH.
